How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sewell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Sewell: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repair or replace in Sewell?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
