What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Crackley. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Crackley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Crackley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Crackley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ST5 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
