How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Great Wakering get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Great Wakering
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Great Wakering
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
