- Repairs from £95

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Sink repair in Elsecar without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Elsecar
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Elsecar
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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 it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
