What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Marks Tey
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin

Common questions in Marks Tey
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
