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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Humbleton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
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 we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Humbleton questions
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Humbleton
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
