Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
For a price in Waterditch, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Waterditch
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
