What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Strathkinness. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Strathkinness, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Questions from Strathkinness
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Repair or replace in Strathkinness?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
