How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Sink repair in Walton, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Walton
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

What else we do in Walton
What we are called out for in Walton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Walton questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you restore period basins?
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 price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
