How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Bamfurlong: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Bamfurlong?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
