Your questions about sink repair in Teversham
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
