How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Crouch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crouch

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crouch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Crouch, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
