Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Take a look at our pricing.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Sherwood
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Sherwood questions
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.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to Sherwood?
We do. We send a technician to Sherwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sherwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 will not last.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
