How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Down St Mary, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Down St Mary: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Down St Mary is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you come to Down St Mary?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Down St Mary and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
