Sink repair at your home in Poling
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Poling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
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.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
