Common questions in Hunsonby

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hunsonby, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Do you need sink repair in Hunsonby?
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
