Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Barlby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about sink repair in Barlby
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
