Book sink repair in Chilwell

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we handle sink repair in Chilwell

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can usually put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price sink repair

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chilwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
