What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
