Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. 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. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Little Downham
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How much does sink repair cost in Little Downham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need sink repair in Little Downham?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
