What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Southowram. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Southowram get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Sink repair in Southowram without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southowram
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southowram use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
