- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Sink repair in Up Holland, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Up Holland questions
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
