Your questions about sink repair in Ouston
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you cover Ouston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ouston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ouston. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
