Questions from Warthill
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
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.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
How much does sink repair cost in Warthill?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Warthill. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in Warthill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
