How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Sink repair in Seasalter, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Most customers in Seasalter get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Seasalter
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Seasalter questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
