What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Treswithian?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Treswithian get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
