How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Tring
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Advice
Repair or replace in Tring?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Tring customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
