What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hambleton. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hambleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hambleton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Hambleton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO8 postcode.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
