How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
