Common questions in Adwick upon Dearne
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace in Adwick upon Dearne?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
