What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need sink repair in Elswick
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
