How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about sink repair in Fellside
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
