How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle sink repair in Langthorpe
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Langthorpe

- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Langthorpe?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Langthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
