Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Priory Heath
- Enamelled basins

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Common questions in Priory Heath
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Priory Heath?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you work in Priory Heath?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Priory Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Priory Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
