Langthwaite: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Langthwaite
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
