What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crindau. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Crindau: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Newport?
We cover the whole UK, including Crindau and the rest of Newport. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
