Your questions about sink repair in East Combe
Do you come to East Combe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Combe. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, East Combe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in East Combe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
