What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Fifehead St Quintin
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
