What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wilby. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Wilby
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Wilby?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Wilby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wilby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Wilby
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, 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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
