What sink repair costs

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

Where the damage is and how we get to it
Whether we combine several jobs
The material and finish
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Where you are, by postcode
A wider photo showing the whole basin
The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Meikle Earnock

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

A crack near the taps
A period basin that needs restoring
Chips around the rim
Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Get chips repaired early
Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. If your basin in Meikle Earnock is sound, a repair is normally the better choice.
