How we price sink repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glyndebourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Glyndebourne, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Glyndebourne: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need sink repair in Glyndebourne

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
