What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
