What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

What else we do in Varfell
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we’re called out for in Varfell
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
