What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fairfield. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Fairfield customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Fairfield

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Fairfield: your questions answered

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Fairfield?

We do. Technicians travel to Fairfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When to call us in Fairfield

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
