What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wykin. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Wykin customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in Wykin
Are there extra charges for Wykin?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leicestershire.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
