Questions from Bodley

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does sink repair cost in Bodley?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX31 postcode.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Bodley

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Bodley

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bodley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
