What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheldon
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Sheldon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Sheldon
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Sheldon?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B26 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
We work UK-wide, so Sheldon is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
