What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Godmanstone. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Godmanstone: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Godmanstone?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Godmanstone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Godmanstone. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Godmanstone and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
