  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Kearsley

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
