How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Halliwell. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
