What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF47 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
