Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
