What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Advice
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Contin
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Contin
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Contin
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Contin and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
