How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Signs you need sink repair in Coston
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Coston
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
