How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Ford
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does sink repair cost in Ford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sefton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Common problems we fix in Ford
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairing versus replacing in Ford
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
