Sink repair in Boxwell, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What sink repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Boxwell

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Boxwell?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Boxwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
