DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Wales questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
