What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Chelsfield
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Chelsfield
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
