What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- 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, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Peterston-super-Ely
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge

- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
