DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Enslow, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Enslow

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. 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, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When to call us in Enslow

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Your questions about sink repair in Enslow

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Enslow?

We do. We send a technician to Enslow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Enslow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
