Your questions about sink repair in Copford Green

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Copford Green?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Copford Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What affects the price in Copford Green

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
