How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Simonstone. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Questions from Simonstone
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Simonstone?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
