Lower Common: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How much does sink repair cost in Lower Common?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Lower Common, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What else we do in Lower Common
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
