What else we do in Lolworth
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Lolworth
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Lolworth
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Lolworth
Do you work in Lolworth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lolworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Lolworth and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
