Addington: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Addington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Addington
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Addington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Addington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
