How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pottersheath. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair

Pottersheath questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
