Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Snods Edge. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repair or replace in Snods Edge?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
