About our sink repair in Holmrook
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Your questions about sink repair in Holmrook
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.

What else we do in Holmrook
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmrook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
