How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Southwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Southwell
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Common reasons people in Southwell contact us include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
We turn 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 few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
