Chesterton: your questions answered
Do you work in Chesterton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chesterton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Chesterton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
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.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
