Questions from Carlingcott

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it messy?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Landlord and trade work in Carlingcott

For anyone letting property in or around Carlingcott, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin

For a price in Carlingcott, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
