What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Your questions about sink repair in Birch Hill
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Repairing versus replacing in Birch Hill
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
