How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Sink repair in Manthorpe without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
