How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ripley. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in Ripley without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Common problems we fix in Ripley
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Ripley
Do you cover Ripley?
We do. Technicians travel to Ripley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
