Common questions in Row
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does sink repair cost in Row?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Row

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
