DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Plaistow
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Plaistow. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
