How we price sink repair

- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barford St John. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For a price in Barford St John, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
