What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gants Hill. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlord and trade work in Gants Hill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 Gants Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Signs you need sink repair in Gants Hill
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Gants Hill contact us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
