Eldernell: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Eldernell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Eldernell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Eldernell 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Eldernell?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eldernell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
