How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Abbey Dore. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Abbey Dore: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Abbey Dore?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Abbey Dore. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Landlord and trade work in Abbey Dore
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbey Dore as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
