What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Ley Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need sink repair in Ley Hill?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Your questions about sink repair in Ley Hill

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
