Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Ardleigh
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ardleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
