Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Southrop: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Southrop.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When to call us in Southrop
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Common reasons people in Southrop contact us include:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southrop. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Southrop get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
