How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Sink repair at your home in Newnham

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Newnham

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newnham

For anyone letting property in or around Newnham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
