Yopps Green questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Yopps Green?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Yopps Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Yopps Green and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair an antique basin?

What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Yopps Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
