How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included. Somewhere like Aldington Frith needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Aldington Frith

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Aldington Frith

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. In an older home in a village like Aldington Frith, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
