Your questions about sink repair in Higher Chillington
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Higher Chillington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we are called out for in Higher Chillington
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
If you are in Higher Chillington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

A repair is not right for every job, including:
