Local sink repair for Street Lane: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Street Lane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Street Lane use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Street Lane, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
