Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
