What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle sink repair in East Ruston
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
