What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Ford questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Ford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ford and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlord and trade work in Ford
