Repairing versus replacing in Sunnybrow

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Sink repair in Sunnybrow without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Sunnybrow
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Do you need sink repair in Sunnybrow?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
