How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Farlesthorpe questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Farlesthorpe
Repair or replace in Farlesthorpe?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Farlesthorpe
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farlesthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
