When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Arley

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Arley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Upper Arley questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need sink repair in Upper Arley

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
