What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Do you work in Cold Ash?
We do. Technicians travel to Cold Ash from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Repairing versus replacing in Cold Ash
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cold Ash use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
