Pool Quay questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Powys. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Pool Quay?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
