Common questions in Catherine-de-Barnes
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Catherine-de-Barnes. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Catherine-de-Barnes. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace in Catherine-de-Barnes?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- 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.
