DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Questions from Alverstoke

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Alverstoke and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PO12 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Alverstoke

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

Take a look at our pricing.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
