How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Preston-under-Scar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Preston-under-Scar
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
