What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Racton. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Racton: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you work in Racton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Racton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
