Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

- Crazing in the glaze

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Quinton. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes

Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash

Quinton: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How much does sink repair cost in Quinton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
