What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ovingham. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ovingham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Ovingham questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Most customers in Ovingham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
