What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Panfield. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Sink repair in Panfield, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
