How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about sink repair in Glewstone
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Glewstone included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Glewstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
