What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Welham. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What does sink repair cost?

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
