What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Common problems we fix in West Melton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
