What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for West Charleton. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
