What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins

Landlord and trade work in Chevening

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Chevening

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price 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 you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Chevening questions

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

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

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
