How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
