How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Poringland

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
