When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets

What else we do in Barugh

FAQs for Barugh
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S75 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover Barugh?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Barugh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Barugh
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
