Woodville: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Woodville?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Woodville, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
