Questions from Cores End
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Cores End
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Landlord and trade work in Cores End
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
