What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Harraby

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harraby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Harraby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
