How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back

- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Your questions about sink repair in Tindale Crescent
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you cover Tindale Crescent?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tindale Crescent and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin 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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
