- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from pictures 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.

Milton questions
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you come to Milton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Milton and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new 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 reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
