What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

We price from photos so you do not 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Toot Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Toot Hill

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Across the UK, and that includes Toot Hill. Prices do not change with location.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Toot Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
