What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mark Hall South. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Mark Hall South get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
