How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

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 there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Ash Priors get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle sink repair in Ash Priors

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Ash Priors

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Ash Priors

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How much does sink repair cost in Ash Priors?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

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.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
