DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Egerton. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Egerton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Egerton
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Egerton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle 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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Most clients in Egerton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Egerton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
