Questions from High Street

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What does sink repair cost?

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in High Street
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim

The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
