What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Widdington get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Sink repair in Widdington, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Widdington questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
