Trusted sink repair in Broad Oak

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

What we’re called out for in Broad Oak

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Broad Oak

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broad Oak. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broad Oak as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
