Selly Oak: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Selly Oak included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Selly Oak and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
