How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tilford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
