Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in Langley Common
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Langley Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
