How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ide Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Ide Hill: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
