Questions from Elvanfoot
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
About our sink repair in Elvanfoot
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Elvanfoot
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Elvanfoot. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elvanfoot
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elvanfoot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
