Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Sink repair in Tirley without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tirley. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For a price in Tirley, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
