Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Questions from Sutton Common
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
When to call us in Sutton Common
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
