Should you replace it?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about sink repair in Sugley
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
