How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Collin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How we handle sink repair in Collin
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about sink repair in Collin
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
