What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Snelland and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Sink repair in Snelland, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Snelland

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Common questions in Snelland

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Snelland

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
