Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Smithy Green. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Common questions in Smithy Green
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover Smithy Green?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Smithy Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
