What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Sink repair in Saxtead without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Saxtead questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
