What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Knowsthorpe
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
