Should you replace it?
A basin is usually 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Newgate Street
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Questions from Newgate Street
Are there extra charges for Newgate Street?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.
