What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Storwood, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.

FAQs for Storwood
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you work in Storwood?
We do. We send a technician to Storwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
