Advice
Questions from Castle Hill
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Castle Hill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does sink repair cost in Castle Hill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Castle Hill
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
