How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lintz, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Lintz
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lintz use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
