What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
