How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need sink repair in East Ella
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
FAQs for East Ella
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
