Your questions about sink repair in Cheslyn Hay

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Are there extra charges for Cheslyn Hay?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cheslyn Hay.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Cheslyn Hay. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cheslyn Hay. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Cheslyn Hay?

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

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Cheslyn Hay

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Cheslyn Hay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
