How we handle sink repair in Sawston
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sawston and across Cambridgeshire.

Common questions in Sawston
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Sawston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you work in Sawston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sawston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sawston
If you manage property in Sawston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace in Sawston?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
