What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Langley. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Langley
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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 morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
