Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Banknock

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Banknock

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Banknock?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you come to Banknock?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Banknock. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Do you need sink repair in Banknock?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
