DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Do you need sink repair in Corton?

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks starting at the waste

FAQs for Corton

How do I get a price for sink repair in Corton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What affects the price in Corton

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Corton. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
