It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Silvergate
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Silvergate
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
