What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bulmer Tye questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
