What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stanton-by-Dale. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle sink repair in Stanton-by-Dale
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on

Questions from Stanton-by-Dale
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
