How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair in Effingham, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Effingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about sink repair in Effingham
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Effingham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Effingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Effingham included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Effingham clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
