What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Upton
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Upton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Nottinghamshire.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
