What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What else we do in Haroldswick
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Haroldswick: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Haroldswick?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Haroldswick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
