How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Cambridge
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Cambridge
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Cambridge questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you come to Cambridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cambridge and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cambridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cambridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
