Advice
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Abinger Hammer: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Abinger Hammer. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
