Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Edlaston. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Edlaston: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does sink repair cost in Edlaston?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
