Finghall questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Finghall?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Finghall, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
