What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How we handle sink repair in Oakington
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Oakington
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add 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.

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
