How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Common questions in St Cadocs
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, St Cadocs included. Travel is included in the price.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
