Your questions about sink repair in Sunniside
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work in Sunniside?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sunniside. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Repair or replace in Sunniside?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sunniside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
