What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Speen, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Speen
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Speen?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Speen. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Speen.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
