When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Common questions in Arminghall

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

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