Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Saltford. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
