FAQs for Abinger

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RH5 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Abinger

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Abinger

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Abinger. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
