Monkhams questions
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Monkhams. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Monkhams. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Monkhams
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
