What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Sydling St Nicholas
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you cover Sydling St Nicholas?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sydling St Nicholas from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Sydling St Nicholas
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
