What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fernieside. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Fernieside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Fernieside
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
