Common questions in Atcham
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does sink repair cost in Atcham?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How the visit works
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 morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Atcham, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Atcham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, 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.
