Caythorpe questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Caythorpe and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace in Caythorpe?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
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 you will get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Do you need sink repair in Caythorpe?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
