Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Cackle Street questions
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
