How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boyton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

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 we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Boyton: your questions answered

Do you work in Boyton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Boyton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
