How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
When to call us in Glascoed

Glascoed questions
Are there extra charges for Glascoed?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice

Also in Glascoed
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.
