What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dearham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Dearham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.

Dearham: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover Dearham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dearham and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
