How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Kingwood Common
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingwood Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Kingwood Common
Kingwood Common: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we are called out for in Kingwood Common
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
