How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodlands. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in Woodlands without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Woodlands: your questions answered
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlands as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in Woodlands
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Woodlands contact us include:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
