Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bunwell. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Bunwell

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
