Our hiring checklist

Sink repair at your home in Claxby

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Claxby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Claxby

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Claxby.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in Claxby?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
