What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price sink repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need sink repair in Bear Flat

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Bear Flat questions

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Bear Flat?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bear Flat from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Bear Flat

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bear Flat use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
