How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Moorthorpe. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
FAQs for Moorthorpe
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you come to Moorthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Moorthorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
