Common questions in New Wood
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in New Wood
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

Do you need sink repair in New Wood?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
