How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Sink repair in Old Shoreham without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
