Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gate Foot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Gate Foot
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Gate Foot questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
