DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Toller Porcorum: your questions answered
How much does sink repair cost in Toller Porcorum?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need sink repair in Toller Porcorum?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Toller Porcorum. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Toller Porcorum and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
