How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in The Leys, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in The Leys, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in The Leys and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around The Leys, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The Leys questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so The Leys is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HR8 postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95.
