Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we price sink repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Ayot St Lawrence, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Most customers in Ayot St Lawrence get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Ayot St Lawrence

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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