What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Signs you need sink repair in Mabe Burnthouse
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
