What affects the price in Sicklesmere
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sicklesmere. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sicklesmere questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you come to Sicklesmere?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sicklesmere. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP30 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
