Your questions about sink repair in Eastrop
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
