What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Coal Aston. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Coal Aston

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
