DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Liquo: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Liquo?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Liquo for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Landlords, agents and businesses in Liquo
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Liquo
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
