Sink repair at your home in Soham
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Soham
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
