How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Meadow Well get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Meadow Well
If you manage property in Meadow Well, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
