Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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 price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Garve and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Questions from Garve
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Garve?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Garve?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garve and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
