What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Greylees. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Greylees
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Greylees questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
