FAQs for East Cambridgeshire

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are there extra charges for East Cambridgeshire?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does sink repair cost in East Cambridgeshire?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Repair or replace in East Cambridgeshire?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. 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 items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

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.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we’re called out for in East Cambridgeshire

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Common reasons people in East Cambridgeshire contact us include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
