What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including St Peter's and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Peter's. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
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.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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 and leave the character intact.
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.

When a repair is not the answer

Do you need sink repair in St Peter's?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
