How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Sink repair at your home in Oldfurnace
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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.
Signs you need sink repair in Oldfurnace
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Your questions about sink repair in Oldfurnace
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
