How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 quote the same day in most cases.
Sink repair in Caddonfoot without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business

What else we do in Caddonfoot
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
