What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Margarets. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Margarets. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for St Margarets

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How do I get a price for sink repair in St Margarets?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in St Margarets

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs
