Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

What affects the price in East Markham
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive

- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about sink repair in East Markham
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.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
