How we price sink repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Your questions about sink repair in Monk Soham

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Monk Soham included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monk Soham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
