Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Barton Hill

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barton Hill. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Barton Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
