Questions from St Helens
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in St Helens
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in St Helens
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
