How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Dilwyn
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Dilwyn
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Herefordshire.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Dilwyn?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
