How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Landlord and trade work in Cropredy

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cropredy as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Cropredy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Cropredy

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
