Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Liurbost: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
