Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Overstone
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

- A crack near the taps

Landlords, agents and businesses in Overstone
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Overstone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
