Your questions about sink repair in Duckhole
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you come to Duckhole?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Duckhole and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Duckhole. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Duckhole. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Other services in Duckhole
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Duckhole as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Duckhole. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
