What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Maplehurst get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from Maplehurst
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
