What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Common questions in Staining
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

When to call us in Staining
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Staining?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.
