What else we do in Soundwell
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Soundwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Common questions in Soundwell
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Soundwell included. Travel is included in the price.
