What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ryhope. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Ryhope
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does sink repair cost in Ryhope?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Ryhope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
