Sink repair in Checkley

Checkley questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

About our sink repair in Checkley

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Checkley

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Checkley

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Checkley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

When to call us in Checkley

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
