What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fenn Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
