How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mellor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Mellor
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
