What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Buckley. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Buckley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Buckley questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common problems we fix in Buckley

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
