How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Sink repair in Balloch without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Signs you need sink repair in Balloch

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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 them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
