What affects the price in Fairy Cross
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fairy Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Sink repair in Fairy Cross, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Fairy Cross
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Fairy Cross?
We do. We send a technician to Fairy Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Fairy Cross?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, 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.
What we’re called out for in Fairy Cross
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
