What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Danby. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Danby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Danby

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Danby

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Common problems we fix in Danby

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
