Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Questions from Maritime Quarter
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Maritime Quarter?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
