DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Walsgrave on Sowe questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you come to Walsgrave on Sowe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Walsgrave on Sowe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
