What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Blackwater
How do I get a price for sink repair in Blackwater?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Blackwater?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace in Blackwater?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackwater. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
