What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?

Signs you need sink repair in Debden Green
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
