How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Edlesborough: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are there extra charges for Edlesborough?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How much does sink repair cost in Edlesborough?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
