How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Great Berry, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Common questions in Great Berry
How do I get a price for sink repair in Great Berry?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SS16 postcode.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Berry included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
