DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
