How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. In an older home in a village like Low Cotehill, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Usually one visit, start to finish
See our Prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
