Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Picketts Lock
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
