Your questions about sink repair in Upper Biggin
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Upper Biggin?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Upper Biggin.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
