What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Sink repair in Easington Colliery without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Easington Colliery and across County Durham.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
