How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S60 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in Whiston, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Whiston
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Whiston and the rest of Rotherham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Whiston
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
