What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

The material
The type of damage
Access to the area
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

A close-up of the damage, in focus
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Any details about the material
A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle sink repair in Gerrans

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gerrans and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
We degrease and key the damage.
We build up the filler and sand it flush.
We match the colour and the gloss.
We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Have a window or extractor fan available
Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Avoid abrasive pads
Keep straighteners away from the basin
Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Gerrans

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

A basin cracked through and leaking
Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Gerrans?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
