How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ughill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Ughill questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ughill. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
