FAQs for Cam
How much does sink repair cost in Cam?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL11 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Cam?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cam from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we handle sink repair in Cam
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Cam
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Cam
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
