How we handle sink repair in Sparkwell
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

What affects the price in Sparkwell
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before booking
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Sparkwell
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
