What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Bootle get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Your questions about sink repair in Bootle
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Bootle

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
