Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Barry
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Common problems we fix in Barry
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
