How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Common questions in Gasthorpe
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Repair or replace in Gasthorpe?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
