Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need sink repair in Slack?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about sink repair in Slack
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
