DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Chale Green

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO38 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Chale Green

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
