What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Smalldale
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
FAQs for Smalldale
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Smalldale?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
