Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

FAQs for Ovington
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE42 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ovington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
