Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Mercaston
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mercaston. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mercaston, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
