Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shirley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
