How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including High Halstow. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

High Halstow: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover High Halstow?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to High Halstow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Halstow

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around High Halstow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
