Questions from Cantley
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cantley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR13 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cantley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What affects the price in Cantley
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cantley
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
