FAQs for Fenton
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Take a look at our pricing.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
