DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Kirkstall
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How quickly can you book me in?

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we are called out for in Kirkstall
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Kirkstall
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Kirkstall and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
