Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does sink repair cost in Yapham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing

Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO42 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
