What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Newton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Newton

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you cover Newton?

We do. Technicians travel to Newton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
