Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in The Stocks
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
