Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Your questions about sink repair in Claygate Cross
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What else we do in Claygate Cross
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Claygate Cross
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Claygate Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Do you need sink repair in Claygate Cross?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
