What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Dinder, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Sink repair at your home in Dinder

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Dinder, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Dinder

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Dinder

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Dinder. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you work in Dinder?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Dinder from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
