What else we do in Monwode Lea
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need sink repair in Monwode Lea?

Monwode Lea questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Monwode Lea. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Monwode Lea, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
