How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gourdon. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Advice

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about sink repair in Gourdon

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DD10 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
