DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
