What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

How much damage there is
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Whether we combine several jobs
Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

The material, if you know it
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Details of any past repairs
Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lewdown, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

Use mild cleaners only
Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use a heat mat for hair tools
Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
