Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Sink repair in Vogue without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Vogue. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Vogue: your questions answered
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
