Your questions about sink repair in Runwell
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Are there extra charges for Runwell?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Runwell, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Runwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
Read our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
