What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whinney Banks. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Sink repair in Whinney Banks, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Whinney Banks?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
