Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 photos, as it can add time.

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, whatever the material.

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Your questions about sink repair in Calloose
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Calloose?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What else we do in Calloose
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Normally one visit, start to finish

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What affects the price in Calloose
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your quote should include
