What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Your questions about sink repair in Charing Heath

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Charing Heath. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Charing Heath get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

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.

Do you need sink repair in Charing Heath?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
