How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Preston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Preston questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Preston?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
