Questions from Brownlow
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Brownlow?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Brownlow. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need sink repair in Brownlow?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brownlow
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brownlow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
