What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Delves Lane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Delves Lane
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does sink repair cost in Delves Lane?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Delves Lane?
We do. We send a technician to Delves Lane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Do you need sink repair in Delves Lane?
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- A crazed, tired basin
