Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Northfield
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Northfield?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Northfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
