Questions from Park Gate
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Park Gate?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What affects the price in Park Gate
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Park Gate. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Park Gate

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
