About sink & basin repair
What affects the price in Cummertrees
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cummertrees. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common questions in Cummertrees
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cummertrees?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG12 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we can’t put right

- Through cracks that let water out

- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What we are called out for in Cummertrees
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
