Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Low Coniscliffe: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Low Coniscliffe?

We do. We send a technician to Low Coniscliffe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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.

Repair or replace in Low Coniscliffe?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What your basin is made of matters

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.

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.
