Your questions about sink repair in Appleshaw
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Appleshaw
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Related advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Appleshaw. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What else we do in Appleshaw
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
