What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. For a home around Barony and Castle of Corsehill where the basin is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
