How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Davenport
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Your questions about sink repair in Davenport
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Davenport
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What else we do in Davenport
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
