How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Sink repair in Dallam without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dallam use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Questions from Dallam
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
