How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle 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, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we can’t put right

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
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
