Your questions about sink repair in Upton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Upton. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DN21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
