Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Sandridge?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
