What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bonning Gate. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Bonning Gate
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Bonning Gate: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Bonning Gate?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What else we do in Bonning Gate
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Bonning Gate
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
