DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What affects the price in Hockley
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, 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
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why Hockley clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your photos

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Hockley: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
