What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about sink repair in Mathersgrave
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Mathersgrave
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
