What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Kington St Michael

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?

We work UK-wide, so Kington St Michael is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repair or replace in Kington St Michael?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Kington St Michael

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

  • An original basin worth saving
