DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Advice
What affects the price in Abington
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Abington
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Landlord and trade work in Abington
If you manage property in Abington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Abington
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
