Sink repair at your home in Alrewas

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Our hiring checklist

Alrewas questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you work in Alrewas?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alrewas for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlord and trade work in Alrewas

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Alrewas

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Alrewas. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
