How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aldborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
