How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle sink repair in Upper Town
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Upper Town and across Derbyshire.

Questions from Upper Town
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Common problems we fix in Upper Town
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upper Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
