What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Oare
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK, and that includes Oare. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repair or replace in Oare?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Oare
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
