Horsley: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Horsley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL6 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What affects the price in Horsley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Horsley. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GL6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 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.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Horsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Horsley
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
