DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in Ormesby St Margaret?

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Ormesby St Margaret
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
