How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Steeple Aston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steeple Aston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
