Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Belle Vue
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
