- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Sink repair in Playden without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Playden questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
