How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upper Midway. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Upper Midway
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are there extra charges for Upper Midway?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Midway
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Midway
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
