FAQs for Cradley
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Are there extra charges for Cradley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Cradley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cradley and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Cradley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 price, not a guess.
