Your questions about sink repair in Boyton Cross

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. 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. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

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