Your questions about sink repair in Greendykes
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Greendykes.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Greendykes
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greendykes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
