How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Avon Common. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Avon Common get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Avon Common
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Avon Common contact us include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
