What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Raw. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How we handle sink repair in Raw
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions from Raw
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Raw included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
