Sink repair in Gorefield, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Gorefield
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Gorefield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gorefield. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Gorefield: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gorefield.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Different materials, different repairs
