What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about sink repair in Southend-on-Sea
Are there extra charges for Southend-on-Sea?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Southend-on-Sea?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Southend-on-Sea and the rest of Southend-on-Sea. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better 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.
How much does sink repair cost in Southend-on-Sea?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Southend-on-Sea.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
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.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
