Sink repair near Crick

Crick: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Crick

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crick

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

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