Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we’re called out for in Blackwell
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive

- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Blackwell
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Blackwell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Blackwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Blackwell?
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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
