How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Questions from Scatsta
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
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. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common problems we fix in Scatsta
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
