Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in The Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for The Green
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LA18 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
