What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Salterforth. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
