How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pool. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Pool
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repair or replace in Pool?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlord and trade work in Pool
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pool use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
