What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

What we are called out for in Longridge

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Longridge

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

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