What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Somerford Keynes. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
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. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
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 normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Somerford Keynes
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does sink repair cost in Somerford Keynes?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
