Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
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 you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KW14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Sink repair at your home in Melvich
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Melvich
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Melvich. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
