Common questions in Monkswood
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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 typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Monkswood
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
