What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southville. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about sink repair in Southville
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Southville
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
