Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Bishopton: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Bishopton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How much does sink repair cost in Bishopton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS21 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Bishopton
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
