How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lathones. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lathones. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What we can’t put right
