How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton at Hone use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Sutton at Hone
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
