Your questions about sink repair in Drayford
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
About our sink repair in Drayford
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Drayford
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drayford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need sink repair in Drayford
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
