How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Aston le Walls, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Aston le Walls

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you need sink repair in Aston le Walls?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
