Sink repair for Kent Street homes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kent Street. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
