Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Plumbland. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plumbland
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common questions in Plumbland
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
