What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cooksbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Cooksbridge: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How much does sink repair cost in Cooksbridge?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
