When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Elmstone Hardwicke questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Elmstone Hardwicke included. Travel is included in the price.
How much does sink repair cost in Elmstone Hardwicke?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Elmstone Hardwicke. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Elmstone Hardwicke. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.
