Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Ripon
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done 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.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
