How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Signs you need sink repair in Tyler's Green
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace in Tyler's Green?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
