Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What else we do in Leigh
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Leigh: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Leigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Leigh
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
