When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Christchurch questions
How much does sink repair cost in Christchurch?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Christchurch.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What we’re called out for in Christchurch
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
More services for Christchurch
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Christchurch
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Christchurch
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
