What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Marston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Marston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
