Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Signs you need sink repair in Star
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Star contact us are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim

Your questions about sink repair in Star
Are there extra charges for Star?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Star?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Star?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Star for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Star, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
