Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Questions from Plantation Bridge
Do you work in Plantation Bridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Plantation Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
