Questions from Pennington Green
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your WN2 postcode.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

Repair or replace in Pennington Green?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
