Common questions in Hodnet
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hodnet?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
