How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cathiron. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CV23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Cathiron: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CV23 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
