What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbotsham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbotsham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Signs you need sink repair in Abbotsham

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Common reasons people in Abbotsham contact us include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
