How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Wibsey
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
