Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Sink repair in Rubha Ban without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do the materials smell?

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
