Repair or replace in Church Hougham?

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
When to call us in Church Hougham

Common questions in Church Hougham
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How much does sink repair cost in Church Hougham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Church Hougham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features 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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
