Sink repair at your home in Sorbie
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairing versus replacing in Sorbie
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we can’t put right

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Sorbie questions
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DG8 postcode.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
