Trusted sink repair in Austrey

What affects the price in Austrey

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Austrey. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our sink repair in Austrey

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Austrey

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
