How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Elmfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Elmfield?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
