DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Landrake
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landrake: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are there extra charges for Landrake?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you cover Landrake?
We do. Technicians travel to Landrake from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Landrake. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
