When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Bethersden

Does someone need to be in?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to Bethersden?

We do. We send a technician to Bethersden for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Bethersden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
