What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For anyone letting property in or around Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
