When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bassett Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Bassett Green
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Bassett Green?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Bassett Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bassett Green. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bassett Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bassett Green
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
