How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

When to call us in Bockmer End

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
