Sink repair at your home in Monikie
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Monikie get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about sink repair in Monikie
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Monikie?
We do. We send a technician to Monikie for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
