How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: 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 photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Minnow End and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Minnow End: your questions answered

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Minnow End?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Minnow End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

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.

When to call us in Minnow End

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Minnow End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
