What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wellow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Wellow

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
