Sink Repair in Cambois
Sink repair in Cambois without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle sink repair in Cambois
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Cambois
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cambois. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
