Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
