How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Simonburn questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Simonburn?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
