What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Knob's Crook. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Questions from Knob's Crook
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How much does sink repair cost in Knob's Crook?

Repair or replace in Knob's Crook?

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Knob's Crook

- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
