What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for East Melbury
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you cover East Melbury?
We do. We send a technician to East Melbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How do I get a price for sink repair in East Melbury?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SP7 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

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.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
