Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ellen's Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Ellen's Green: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Ellen's Green?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RH12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ellen's Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

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:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Common problems we fix in Ellen's Green

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
