What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Signs you need sink repair in Woodhead

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

Choosing a repair company

Woodhead: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Woodhead.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Woodhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woodhead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
