What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hinton

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

Do you need sink repair in Hinton?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Hinton

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you work in Hinton?

We do. Technicians travel to Hinton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
