Sink repair across Gate Head and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Gate Head is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Gate Head
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin

What affects the price in Gate Head
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
