What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Butcher's Cross?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like Butcher's Cross, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. In a village or hamlet like Butcher's Cross, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Butcher's Cross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
