What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in West Hyde
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How do I get a price for sink repair in West Hyde?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
