Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Portskerra. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Portskerra
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
