Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Northam. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about sink repair in Northam
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
