Repair or replace in Hellman's Cross?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

About our sink repair in Hellman's Cross
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Hellman's Cross
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Hellman's Cross is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hellman's Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
