How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
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 price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When to call us in Burniere
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burniere
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
