How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ambaston. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Ambaston
Do you cover Ambaston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ambaston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
