Your questions about sink repair in Ormathwaite
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Ormathwaite
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Ormathwaite?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ormathwaite

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ormathwaite. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
