Sink repair in Day Green

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Sink repair in Day Green, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

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

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CW11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Day Green: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Day Green.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Day Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Day Green. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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.

Common problems we fix in Day Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Day Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
