Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Sink repair at your home in Southerndown
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. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally 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 to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Southerndown and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
