How it works

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Prittlewell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
