How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Threewaters. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?

Common questions in Threewaters
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Threewaters?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Threewaters. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are there extra charges for Threewaters?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
