DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Rivington questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Rivington. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does sink repair cost in Rivington?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BL6 postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
