What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Wilburton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB6 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilburton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
