What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Most jobs done in one visit

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For a price in Gwystre, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Gwystre questions

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
