- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Sink repair at your home in Melsonby
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Melsonby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Melsonby included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
