What else we do in Crofton
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
