Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need sink repair in Owston
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.

Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Owston: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Owston. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Owston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Repair or replace: which is better?
