When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about sink repair in Aylmerton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Aylmerton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Repair or replace in Aylmerton?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aylmerton. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aylmerton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aylmerton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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