Little Waltham: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For a price in Little Waltham, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Waltham. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
