What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Kirton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Kirton questions

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Kirton

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Repairing versus replacing in Kirton

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kirton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
