Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Common questions in Windlehurst
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Windlehurst and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

Landlord and trade work in Windlehurst
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Windlehurst
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the entire UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
