Shepway: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shepway. 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
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
