Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Preston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Preston
