How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Mumbles questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When to call us in Mumbles
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
