Sink repair at your home in The Pound
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The Pound: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in The Pound
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for The Pound. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
