What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Grove. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Grove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in The Grove
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in The Grove
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
