FAQs for St Giles on the Heath
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in St Giles on the Heath, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
