What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Sink repair at your home in Kirkham
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about sink repair in Kirkham
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
