How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Birgham. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Birgham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Birgham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Birgham questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
We work UK-wide, so Birgham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common problems we fix in Birgham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
