What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

What affects the price in Covesea

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Covesea

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Covesea

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Covesea as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Covesea

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
