Howdon: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Howdon included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace in Howdon?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
