What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Nettlestone
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Nettlestone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Nettlestone
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
