About our sink repair in Dennington

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim, we can help, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Common problems we fix in Dennington

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

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

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dennington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dennington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Dennington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
