For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Cleethorpes
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Your questions about sink repair in Cleethorpes
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cleethorpes 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.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.

What else we do in Cleethorpes
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
