What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

Landlord and trade work in East Grinstead

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we are called out for in East Grinstead

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, 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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
