Do you need sink repair in St Mary's Bay?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in St Mary's Bay
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to St Mary's Bay?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Mary's Bay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
