How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Neville's Cross. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Neville's Cross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty 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 morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Neville's Cross questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Neville's Cross
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
