How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Haughton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Haughton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Haughton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Haughton questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
