Sink Repair in Icknield
Sink repair in and around Icknield: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LU3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace in Icknield?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Icknield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
