Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Somercotes
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
