DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Acomb: your questions answered
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we are called out for in Acomb
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Acomb. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
If you are in Acomb and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
