What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Yaxham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Yaxham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
