About our sink repair in Greengate

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
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 quote.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Greengate
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
