How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chacombe. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your basin is made of matters
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 and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Chacombe
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Chacombe contact us are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chacombe
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common questions in Chacombe
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Chacombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chacombe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
