What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Lavington Sands, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Lavington Sands
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does sink repair cost in Lavington Sands?
