What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Every job is a little different, 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 photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Sink repair in Lower Key without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Lower Key

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Key

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Lower Key

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
