How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Strumpshaw. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

About our sink repair in Strumpshaw

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Our hiring checklist

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 them sympathetically.

Your questions about sink repair in Strumpshaw

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover Strumpshaw?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Strumpshaw from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.
