Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Albury Heath as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Sink repair at your home in Albury Heath

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Albury Heath: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
