Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from Walditch
Is it messy?

Are there extra charges for Walditch?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Walditch?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Walditch. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Repair or replace in Walditch?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
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 typically cheaper.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
