10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Chesterfield questions

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chesterfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
