How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kingarth. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Sink repair at your home in Kingarth
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Kingarth questions
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Kingarth
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingarth
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
