How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Buckland. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

East Buckland: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to East Buckland?

We do. We send a technician to East Buckland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in East Buckland

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why East Buckland customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

What we’re called out for in East Buckland

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
