Your questions about sink repair in Holmbush
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we handle sink repair in Holmbush
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin

What affects the price in Holmbush
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holmbush. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Holmbush?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
