How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Church Brough. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
