How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Sink repair at your home in Snow Street

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Snow Street: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
