What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Exelby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Exelby, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Sink repair in Exelby, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Common problems we fix in Exelby
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
