What affects the price in Lower Assendon
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

You do not 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Assendon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Lower Assendon
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
