Helpston questions
How much does sink repair cost in Helpston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Helpston
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
