How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our pricing.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 generally cheaper.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
