What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bitterne Park. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common problems we fix in Bitterne Park

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bitterne Park as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
