What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
FAQs for Pentonville
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does sink repair cost in Pentonville?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are there extra charges for Pentonville?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
