Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Embo

Do you come to Embo?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Embo. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Embo

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

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’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Most customers in Embo get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Embo

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
