What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tye Green. What changes the price is:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When to call us in Tye Green
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin

- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tye Green, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
