Sink repair for Copston Magna homes

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

Will you leave a mess?

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

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Copston Magna, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
