How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in South Hykeham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Do you need sink repair in South Hykeham?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in South Hykeham
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
