What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Silver Street. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Landlord and trade work in Silver Street

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Your questions about sink repair in Silver Street

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Silver Street?

We do. We send a technician to Silver Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Silver Street

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
