Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Your questions about sink repair in Townstal
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Townstal?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
What else we do in Townstal
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking

How to get a fixed price

- A photo taken from further back
