What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle sink repair in Foston

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Foston questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need sink repair in Foston?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Repair or replace in Foston?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. 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 jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
