Common questions in Lower Basildon
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Basildon included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Lower Basildon
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
