How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need sink repair in Lesbury?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Lesbury: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price
