Your questions about sink repair in Lawford
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We do. We send a technician to Lawford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
When to call us in Lawford
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.
Repair or replace in Lawford?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
