Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wharncliffe Side. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings

- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go 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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Related advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
