What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Deacon's Hill: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
