Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Do you need sink repair in Mortimer's Cross?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Mortimer's Cross questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Mortimer's Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Mortimer's Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mortimer's Cross. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
