What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Sink repair in Little Dunmow without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Little Dunmow

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you come to Little Dunmow?

We do. Technicians travel to Little Dunmow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Signs you need sink repair in Little Dunmow

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
