Shurlock Row questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Advice
Signs you need sink repair in Shurlock Row
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Shurlock Row, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
