What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Monken Hadley. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What else we do in Monken Hadley
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Monken Hadley questions
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Monken Hadley?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
