How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Charltons
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Charltons included. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Charltons?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Charltons and the rest of Redcar and Cleveland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.

- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
