How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about sink repair in Gregson Lane
Do you come to Gregson Lane?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gregson Lane and the rest of Lancashire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Gregson Lane?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
