Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Inverkip
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
