Your questions about sink repair in Plumpton
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Plumpton?
We do. We send a technician to Plumpton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
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’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Plumpton
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
