Repair or replace in Start Hill?
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Start Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Start Hill
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you come to Start Hill?
We do. Technicians travel to Start Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Start Hill?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CM22 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
