We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

FAQs for Plaistow
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What does sink repair cost?

What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
