Questions from St Nicholas and Bonvilston
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for St Nicholas and Bonvilston?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How much does sink repair cost in St Nicholas and Bonvilston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Nicholas and Bonvilston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
