How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • One picture of the entire basin

About our sink repair in Aston

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 typically cheaper.

Your questions about sink repair in Aston

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SY4 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairing versus replacing in Aston

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
