Sink repair in Croston without replacing anything

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Croston?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Advice

Your questions about sink repair in Croston

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What affects the price in Croston

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
