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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Heighton. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
