How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Bainton?

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
