How we handle sink repair in Purse Caundle
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Questions from Purse Caundle
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Are there extra charges for Purse Caundle?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
