How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Lemington

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Lemington?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Lemington?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE15 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
