How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Eltringham. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Most clients in Eltringham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we are called out for in Eltringham
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Common reasons people in Eltringham contact us are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Eltringham
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does sink repair cost in Eltringham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE43 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
