Questions from Leadgate
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Leadgate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
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.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Do you need sink repair in Leadgate?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
