Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wiggenhall St Germans
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
