Abinger Bottom: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How much does sink repair cost in Abinger Bottom?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Sink repair in Abinger Bottom, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
