What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tingwall. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tingwall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Tingwall
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
