What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Offton. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Offton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Offton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Offton

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Offton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
