Sink repair in East Challow without replacing anything

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
East Challow questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Challow. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
