Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Great Kneighton
Do you cover Great Kneighton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Great Kneighton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Everywhere in the UK, Great Kneighton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When to call us in Great Kneighton

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Kneighton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
