What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Long Newnton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Long Newnton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Long Newnton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
