What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hadham Ford. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Hadham Ford

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hadham Ford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
