What else we do in Old Basing
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Related advice
Your questions about sink repair in Old Basing
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Basing
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Old Basing, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
