What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair in Sloothby without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Sloothby questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Sloothby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sloothby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN13 postcode.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
