Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Mains. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in East Mains

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you come to East Mains?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East Mains and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How much does sink repair cost in East Mains?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send photos?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Do you need sink repair in East Mains?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Mains. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
