How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

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

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Signs you need sink repair in Medstead

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Common reasons people in Medstead contact us include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us
