Sink Repair in St George
Sink repair across St George and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
About our sink repair in St George
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Enamelled basins
What affects the price in St George
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace in St George?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
