- Repairs from £95

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Armshead and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Sink repair at your home in Armshead
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Questions from Armshead
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are there extra charges for Armshead?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
