Sink Repair across Luton

Sink repair across Luton: what to expect

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Luton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Period and antique

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Luton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for Luton

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
