What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to New Lambton. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

When a repair is not the answer

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
