What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Monkton Combe. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Monkton Combe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
