DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- 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, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
