River questions
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, River included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in River as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
What else we do in River
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
