How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Breedon on the Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
