How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Alicehead: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S45 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you need sink repair in Alicehead?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
