How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Taddington
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Taddington: your questions answered
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are there extra charges for Taddington?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
