Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Sink repair in Howt Green, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
