FAQs for Mayon
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Mayon included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Signs you need sink repair in Mayon
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Mayon
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK
