What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our sink repair in Melton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Melton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What to look for in a quote

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Melton
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Melton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP12 postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
