When to call us in Hawkchurch
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
For a price in Hawkchurch, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Hawkchurch
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
FAQs for Hawkchurch
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Hawkchurch?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hawkchurch for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Hawkchurch?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does sink repair cost in Hawkchurch?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
