Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

  • Antique & period basins

Questions from Allen End

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Allen End?

We do. We send a technician to Allen End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Allen End. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Allen End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need sink repair in Allen End?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
