Sink repair in Trumpington

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Trumpington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

About our sink repair in Trumpington

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace in Trumpington?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Trumpington

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Trumpington?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Trumpington and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you cover Trumpington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Trumpington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

  • Enamelled basins
