How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace in Westhead?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Westhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
