What else we do in Denby
Your questions about sink repair in Denby
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Denby
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Denby
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Denby
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
