Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Pennard. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, 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.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
