DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Other services in St Thomas'
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Thomas', and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
