Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ynys-fach. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
