From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Rushmere St Andrew?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rushmere St Andrew use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Rushmere St Andrew, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Rushmere St Andrew
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
