- Repairs from £95

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Signs you need sink repair in Elsenham
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Elsenham
Do you come to Elsenham?
We do. Technicians travel to Elsenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
