How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Whitley Lower get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

Common questions in Whitley Lower
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Whitley Lower?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whitley Lower and the rest of Kirklees. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
