What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Intake. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Intake, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Intake questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Intake?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
