How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Cressing
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Cressing questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
