How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Ashton Common
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
