Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Your questions about sink repair in Christchurch

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
