What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Abbey Wood. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Abbey Wood: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Abbey Wood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Abbey Wood. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
