How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birchburn

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

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
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Birchburn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Birchburn questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Do you cover Birchburn?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
