There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about sink repair in Gilmorton
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gilmorton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Gilmorton
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
