What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about sink repair in West End
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Before booking anyone

Landlords, agents and businesses in West End
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
