What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Averham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Averham
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
