What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Questions from Strand-on-the-Green
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in Strand-on-the-Green?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
