Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkton Wyld as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.

- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
