What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Lillesdon: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What else we do in Lillesdon
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
