What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Copshaw Holm. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Copshaw Holm, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Copshaw Holm
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Copshaw Holm
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you cover Copshaw Holm?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Copshaw Holm for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we are called out for in Copshaw Holm
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Look out for these signs:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Copshaw Holm
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Copshaw Holm as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
