What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Building End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Building End
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Building End
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
