Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sheerness. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sheerness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Sheerness

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
