How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add 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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 without visiting.
Harrowden: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Harrowden included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace in Harrowden?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Harrowden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
