Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

FAQs for Cley next the Sea

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Cley next the Sea?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cley next the Sea. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Cley next the Sea

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cley next the Sea use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
