Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Landlord and trade work in Priddy's Hard
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Priddy's Hard
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
