Sink Repair in Sprig's Alley

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, 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 pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sprig's Alley, and we will reply with a fixed price.
About our sink repair in Sprig's Alley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Sprig's Alley
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OX39 postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Sprig's Alley?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
