Common questions in Trowell
What areas do you cover?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Trowell
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trowell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
