How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cathkin. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cathkin
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Cathkin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
