Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Widford
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- 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 doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
