Your questions about sink repair in Bottom of Woodhouses
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

For landlords and businesses

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bottom of Woodhouses. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bottom of Woodhouses. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
