How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
About our sink repair in Pen-y-fai
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
