Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Cawthorpe. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents frequently 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.

Your questions about sink repair in Little Cawthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Before we arrive

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
