Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Upper Shelton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Upper Shelton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why Upper Shelton customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
Take a look at our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
