- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Questions from Lower Eype
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Eype for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does sink repair cost in Lower Eype?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Eype as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
