DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Northern Moor
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- 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.

FAQs for Northern Moor
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
