How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Sink repair at your home in Ireshopeburn
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Ireshopeburn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Advice
Repair or replace in Ireshopeburn?
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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Ireshopeburn
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Ireshopeburn questions

Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
