How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about sink repair in Payden Street
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does sink repair cost in Payden Street?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Payden Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Payden Street
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Payden Street
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Payden Street. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
