How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Askham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Do you need sink repair in Askham?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Askham
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
